Air Travel with Peanut Allergy 2018

Last night Twitter and
Facebook were buzzing about the upcoming end to Southwest Airlines practice of
serving peanuts in-flight.

Many who have peanut allergy or whose children
have a peanut allergy have, understandably, strong feelings about peanuts being
served on flights. Proximity risk and the enclosed space are just two of the
factors figuring into that equation.

There have been a few studies published in
academic journals regarding in-flight risk/danger for those managing a peanut allergy, but certainly more research is
needed for a better understanding of the in-flight risks for travelers with
food allergies.
